In the sample of 32 gravid females from Cambodia the mean<br>snout-vent length was 564 mm and the clutch size ranged from six to 39 with<br>a mean of 20.3. Eight gravid females from Myanmar had an average snoutvent<br>length of 428 mm and the clutch size ranged from six to 11 with a mean<br>of 7.8. In the sample of 18 gravid females from Thailand the mean snoutvent<br>length was 426 mm and the clutch size ranged from five to 16 with a<br>mean of 8.1. On average the gravid female snakes in the Cambodian sample<br>were larger in body size, clutch size, and relative clutch mass than the<br>female snakes from the Myanmar and Thailand localities. Female mass was<br>significantly correlated with clutch size. Females synchronize reproduction<br>within populations and in Cambodia it appears that there are two seasons<br>when snakes reproduce. A comparison of E. enhydris clutch sizes at Tonle<br>Sap, Cambodia in 1971 and 2000 suggests that clutch size has increased<br>markedly, which may be an indirect result of human fishing activities.</p>}, number={1}, journal={Tropical Natural History}, author={MURPHY, JOHN C. and VORIS, HAROLD K. and STUART, BRYAN L. and PLATT, STEVEN G.}, year={2002}, month={Feb.}, pages={31–37} }
